"With Primitive Tools"

One point that must be made repeatedly in trying to explain these works to viewers is that you may find that you like the work better in another position. My selection is quite often not the dominate view. I have looked at the file several times and realized that my choice was incorrect, so do rotate the images as you view the illustrations each week. Who can actually say in some cases which view is the right one? Your interest might be different. The main thing is to realize that there are other positions for any particular image. The indigenous American artist were aware of a more complicated reality with respect to the pictorial window. We may find the compositions somewhat strange but, we have to accept that the artist has a right to create his art! We also have to admit that most of us here in the post-modern era can not draw as well as these artist could and, let alone the act of engraving the image into stone. With primitive tools, I might add.
